Are hei distributors better than regular distributors?
HEI is not just the distributor, it's the entire ignition system and yes, they certainly are better. Plugs last longer, fuel burns better and there is quite a bit less maintenance. The differences are that the coil of a HEI system has to run on a solid state module which is usually mounted somewhere outside of the distributor as opposed to the older style which runs on points that are INSIDE the distributor.

How do i wire an hei distributor to a tbi harness?

If you crank the Chevy engine it wont start until you release the ignition?
i had this problem on my 84 Chevy truck. the wire harness burnt up. so i went and got one from the junkyard. but from and older truck. the wire from the starter to the fuse box has resistance and when you activate the starter the voltage will drop to 8 volts which is to low for a HEI distributor. i installed a relay form the battery to the distributor and used the 8 volt line to activate the relay.
Where is the ignition condenser at on a hei ignition system?
inside the distributor
